I’m really excited to share this with you. I have teamed up with Dermadry to create this post. All opinions are honest and my own. Picture it: June 1994, graduation day. The day was blessed with glorious summer weather, and my boyfriend and friends were having their graduation ceremony at…

It’s been a year since we began living life in a global pandemic. For us here in Montreal, March 13th was our official day of lockdown, just after our spring break. I remember volunteering in the library of my children’s school as I have done every week for years, but…
